Behringer today introduced HALOS, a clone of the classic Mutable Instruments Rings module.
Like the original, HALOS is a modal resonator & physical modeling synthesizer in Eurorack format.
Features:
- Clones Mutable Instruments Rings module
- Three resonator modes: Modal, Sympathetic Strings, Non-linear/Dispersion
- Advanced physical modeling algorithms for strings, membranes, and tubes
- Pseudo-polyphony up to 4 notes
- High-resolution CV control with 16-bit accuracy
- 14 HP
Pricing and Availability:
Details are to be announced.
Another day, another urge to make a Mutable-Behringer rack! 🙂
If only the panels were not so eye-blindingly bad.
Somebody could set up a little business selling alternate panels or panel overlays for Behringer’s modules.
Bad how? I find them somewhat easier to read than the originals. I was rather surprised how good they looked – in photographs anyway, I haven’t tried one out in real life yet.
Yeah the art is awful. Looks like those tramp stamp tattoo design. Plain and simple like the Roland knockoffs would have been way better
I’ve heard the pots and jacks are fixed to the panels so changing them is not so easy.
Just put a sticker over the behringer logo and suddenly they look way better 🙂
Totally disagree. Especially when comparing Make Noise Math’s to its clone, it’s nice to be able to tell what each nob is doing instead of a bunch of squiggles.
Looks fine to me. And how they have a bunch of modules, they have a theme going on. I am sure someone will make new plates/skins/stickers for them too. Besides, the world of eurorack has wildly different colors and styles. At least it’s not as ugly as a Maths module.
It’s as if they want these to fail. I can’t imagine a whole rack of these — nausea.
Whoever did the graphics should have spent more time looking at modular synth panels and less time looking at skateboard graphics. I think some of the led implementations are interesting but those graphics set a dominant tone and not in a good open ended way. It just feels contrived. I’ve gotten rid of the few Behringer modules I received over the years. I didn’t like having to think about them as a company and contemplate ethics rather than just play music. With that said my recommendation to behringer is keep your graphics non descriptive and remove your logo from the panel and maybe it would help sales. It still doesn’t address the ethics but to each their own
You didn’t know the ethics before you bought the modules?
Never had them in the first place. Just usual virtue signaling
Why bother? With a very small number of notable analog examples, the mutable range is not only pretty poor, but exactly the same as the freeware software which they are running.
Obviously the filters are VCAs are a different story, but clouds, rings marbles etc are just garbage
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. VCV has its limitations the main one being its software and a control surface just isn’t the same. Also, every module has its place in everyone’s system.
Hahaha, that’s funny!
I like your trolling.
Again, that’s subjective, see it for what it is.
They should quit their day job and become a professional comedian!
Professional?
Clouds and Rings sound great to me and many others. Marbles? It’s useful and people like it.
I’ve mostly got one with a few other clones and it’s absolutely fantastic. As a beginner into eurorack it’s insane. Love it.
Once you understand modular I am confident you will feel different, unless of course you are of the moistachuoed persuasion lol
I think they made all of the mutable designs even better than mutable made them
it cant run the popular Modded firmware’s
Pseudo polyphony?
This module looks great!
